Quoted message said:i mean i'm still trying to understand the title:
Real Race among Real Men for Real Cash or, A Day without Blue Coats is like a Day without Crabs...
for example this is the second paragraph: Now you would think that with MKA's elite legal
training, he'd be ready for the pompous nabobs in their Blue Coats poised to deek, fine, dock or
scold. But MKA must confess that few judges can turn his throat desert dry or his pits swamp wet
like a Blue Coat.
i just don't get it he lost me after "now you would think..." why does he have to use words like
nabobs, what does that mean? 'blue coats poised to deek', what the????
Here, I'll translate for you (with a nod to MKA):

TRANSLATION: California Bike Racing Association rocks, USCF sucks. USCF officials generally give me
as much pleasure as a case of crabs.

TRANSLATION: Being a lawyer, I'm uniquely qualified to deal with USCF officials, and they do bug me
so. Blue Coats = USCF officials. Nabobs = idiots. Deek = disqualify.
